D’HONT HOUTIMPORT is started up in 1938 by Jules D’Hont for the trade of logs. In 1945, a band-saw is bought to cut native logs for the local market.

The next generation, Frans D’Hont, adds exotic woods and imports French beech and oak.

In 1998, Philippe D’Hont takes over the business and, from 2002, develops the sawing of French logs mainly to produce boules of very high quality. More recently started the import of logs for sawing and for the local traders of firewood.

The sawing equipment were changed and several kilndryers installed. So, it is possible to continue to ensure the best quality for the products which are treated with great care, especially during the storage. The grades of wood treated have been enlarged and the development of the business provides for us the opportunity of new investments in order to guarantee our customers with competitive prices.
